rare RADIO
BANK made in Canada by Reliable.† circa 1950; approx.
4" by 1.75" by 2.75" tall; hard plastic.† Knobs turn; the
speaker opens to remove coins. Deposit slot is on back
side; which is molded in detail; revealing the "innards" of the
radio. Tubes; etc. are molded in relief. On the speaker; it has the RELIABLE
logo. RELIABLE toys are extremely sought after; and very scarce. Called by many;
the "Renwal of the North". Since their items were not exported; and
released in Canada only; the production numbers were infinitesimal as compared
to American companies. I have searched high and low; for many years; looking for
RELIABLE items. This is the ONLY example of this toy that I have ever seen. A
beautiful bank; and also a beautiful "radio" toy.† excellent plus
to near mint.††75.00
